The General Counsel’s office is staffed by an experienced and collegial team of attorneys and paralegals.

Responsibilities

Depending on the successful candidate's experience, this position may be responsible for assisting attorneys on litigation, business/transactional matters, public record requests, and other legal matters handled by OGC. This paralegal also may be called upon to assist the other attorneys in their legal work for the University when needed and share office responsibilities with the other paralegals in the office.

Experience working in e-discovery platforms and document management systems (i.e., NetDocuments) is preferred.

The successful candidate must have excellent communication skills and will routinely communicate with clients, attorneys, witnesses, courts, and state and federal agencies. The successful candidate must have the ability to work independently to maintain and track a high volume of files from initial assignment to closure. The successful candidate also will demonstrate a high level of professional integrity, initiative, comfort and flexibility to work with others on site and/or remotely, eagerness to assist our University clients, and a collegial team spirit.

Qualifications

Education: A Bachelor’s degree, Associate’s degree, or paralegal certificate (from an ABA-approved program) is required; provided that ten years of paralegal experience may be deemed an adequate substitute for a degree or certificate.

Experience: Five or more years of paralegal experience in litigation is preferred.

Compensation: Market Range 11 with salary negotiable, within budgetary parameters, based on qualifications and experience.

Benefits: A description of the University’s generous benefit package is available at: https://hr.tennessee.edu/benefits/.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
